At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Yuan Si didn't dare to say such a thing, but in his heart he still gave up the winner of the Shameless Contest to Guo Peng.

"That's what Your Majesty said."

The pleasantries ended here, and Guo Peng began to get down to business.

"I heard that recently, many families are thinking of marrying your family, or marrying their daughter, or marrying your daughter away. Is there such a thing?"

Yuan Si felt that the emperor would not intervene in this matter, at most he would just ask curiously, so he nodded.

"It's true. There are men and daughters of the right age in the clan, all of whom are unmarried. Before...the minister...was in a bad situation, so the marriage problem of the clan's children was indeed not so easy to solve. Now everything has become better. Then some people thought about it and saw the children of the courtiers, and their life circumstances are nothing more than this."

This is not false, it is also Yuan Si's own true thoughts.

When the Yuan family was in trouble, all the members of the clan who had marriage contracts were rescinded. When the family fell apart, the women of the two clans could not bear the humiliation and hanged themselves with full dignity, let alone the men. If they were not killed, they would be considered lucky. Still want to get married?

Although the Yuan family has been safe these years, it is only on the verge of dying.

Apart from his branch, two remote branches survived and joined his branch, making him the well-deserved head of the Yuan family.

But what's the point of doing it for the Patriarch in that state?

After Yuan's suffering, there were only more than 20 people left in the clan, and now they have turned over, but the extremely prosperous family back then only had two or three kittens left, which is really very pitiful.

So when Yuan Si said this, Guo Peng couldn't help but feel very "guilty".

Thinking of the past when he used Yuan Shu to kill Yuan Shao and then killed Yuan Shu regardless of friendship, he only felt a dull pain in his conscience, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Oh...it's all my fault."

Guo Peng sighed and said, "It's all my fault that the Yuan family has fallen to this point. Yuan Qing, I'm sorry for you Yuan family."

Yuan Si instinctively felt that something was wrong, but in the face of the emperor's self-blame, he could not take it lightly anyway.

So he hurried to comfort the emperor.

"No, that can't be regarded as His Majesty's fault. It's all the fault of rebelling against Yuan Gonggong. It was Yuan Gonggong who harmed the Yuan family, not Your Majesty."

"But the Yuan family was wiped out by me, and the reason why I was able to get the official position of governor of Qingzhou in the first place was because Gonglu ran for me. It was Gonggao who won the position for me, which gave me a foothold in the troubled times. But I ended up..."

There was a cry in Guo Peng's words, and the circles of his eyes were red, it seemed that he was really about to cry.

Yuan Si felt more and more that something was wrong.

He, the emperor, looks like he's about to cry in front of me, a courtier. No matter how you look at it, he feels something is wrong.

Is it really okay?

Yuan Sisi felt uneasy after thinking about it, so he hurriedly continued to comfort Guo Peng.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to blame yourself. This matter is really Yuan Gonglu's fault. He is the one who pretended to be the emperor and became a rebel. Your Majesty asks for rebellion. That is something that everyone in the world supports. It is justified, so why blame yourself? "

"I know, I know, but I just feel sorry."

Guo Peng shook his head and sighed deeply: "Master Yuan has given me so much help. Without Mrs. Yuan, I would not be where I am today, but what I can give Mrs. Yuan is too little. Yuan Qing, I I really don't know how to compensate Yuan Shi..."

"Your Majesty has done so much now, and has supported Yuan Shi to this point. Yuan Shi is already grateful and has nothing else to ask for."

Yuan Si became more and more panicked, for fear that the emperor would do something strange.

"Really? Not enough, not enough at all. Yuan Shi has helped me too much. I must repay Yuan Shi well. Only in this way can I make up for my debt to Yuan Shi. I... Yuan Qing, why don't you Then the daughter who is waiting to marry my son, our two families will be like one family from now on, how do you think?"

Guo Peng suddenly swept away the sadness on his face, and his face was full of spring breeze, which kindly made Yuan Si get goose bumps all over his body.

Chapter 1158. One thousand 160 eight, so what is the meaning of his Yuan's existence?

Before Yuan Si came to the palace, he also imagined some content for Guo Peng to talk to him.

But no matter how he imagined it, he never expected that Guo Peng would actually discuss marriage with him.

It seems that it has been planned for a long time, and it is definitely not a temporary intention.

Yuan Si was a little flustered.

"Your Majesty...this..."

"My eldest son, Jin, is an adult and married. Naturally, it doesn't count, but my second son, Jun, is only nineteen years old. He is not yet an adult, and he is not yet married. I am thinking that he is about to hold a crown ceremony. It's getting married.

I have been worrying about this matter all the time, I don't know which daughter to choose as his wife is more suitable, and finally I thought of your family, Yuan Qing, what a coincidence, the age of my second son and your daughter The age is the same, the status is the same, just right, it is a match made in heaven. "

Guo Peng laughed loudly, and stepped forward to hold Yuan Si's hand: "It happens that I have been thinking about how to compensate Yuan to make me feel better. Now it seems that instead of tossing about some flashy compensation methods, It is better to form a family with children.

The marriage between Yuan and Guo is not a matter of a while, but a ten-year agreement. If Yuan and I are married, Guo will always protect Yuan. Yuan Qing, do you think what I said How about it?Do you want to? "

Guo Peng stared at Yuan Si with anticipation.

Yuan Si blinked his eyes, moved his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"You're too happy to speak?"

"Sir...Sir..."

Yuan Si swallowed, and forced himself to calm down: "I never expected that Your Majesty... Your family is ruined, and I'm afraid it's not worthy of the prince's honor."

"What is honorable or not? If you insist on being honorable, I, the Guo family in Yingchuan, have studied the law for several generations, and my official position is only two thousand stones. It is not as good as the fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family... No, counting the beginning, there must be five generations and three princes." What else is there to say?"

Yuan Si opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word of objection.

"Then it's settled like this. In another day, I'll ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites to pick a good and auspicious day. Let's settle this matter. It can be regarded as an end to a concern, right?"

Guo Peng laughed loudly.

Yuan Si twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a deliberate smile.

"What His Majesty said... is really..."

He couldn't express his objection, and he didn't dare to say it, but his instinct told him that this didn't seem to be a good thing.

How could the emperor be so gracious to form an in-law family with the Yuan family?

Is it really to express guilt to Yuan Shu, to compensate Yuan Shi?

Before Yuan Si could think of the reason, Guo Peng spoke again.

"By the way, Yuan Qing, since we have formed a family of in-laws, we are a family, and this family does not speak two different languages. There is something I want to entrust to you."

"what?"

"Su Yuan, bring it."

"According to the order."

Guo Peng asked Su Yuan to bring the thing, and Su Yuan quickly brought that [thing].

Guo Peng took it and handed that [thing] to Yuan Si.

That is a piece of paper.

A piece of paper with words written on it.

[Heaven is healthy, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement.Do not use Qianlong, the sun is below.Do it all day long, and repeat it.Or jump in the abyss, enter without blame.Flying dragons are in the sky, and adults make them.Kanglong has regrets, and it won't last long. 】

The sentences are not long and the words are not many.

Yuan Si is very familiar with this sentence. This sentence comes from the "Xiang Zhuan" chapter in the Book of Changes. This is not all, there will be more later, but it is just such a sentence, Yuan Si has been stunned.

Then he frowned, grabbed the paper with both hands, and stared at the words on the paper for a long time.

To be precise, not looking at those words, but looking at the punctuation marks one by one.

He didn't know what this punctuation mark was, but he vaguely knew that it was used to break up sentences, and after being cut off like this, the reading was indeed very smooth, and there was no need to use sentence reading to break up sentences by himself.

This is indeed the method of punctuating sentences that Yuan Si himself knew, and the content he learned was punctuating sentences in this way.

However, the sentence readings are hidden in the heart, but not written on the paper. On the piece of paper that Guo Peng gave him, the sentence readings have been turned into one after another black dots or small circles.

It looks inconspicuous, but the sentence is completely disconnected. After reading it, even if you haven't learned sentence reading, you can know how to read it, and then generate your own understanding.

"His Majesty……"

Yuan Si raised his head and looked at Yuan Si suspiciously.

"This is called punctuation. I made it myself during the long-term reading process and used it to break sentences."

Guo Peng took the piece of paper from Yuan Si, walked slowly, and said, "I read a lot. In my hometown, my father taught me to read and read sentences. When I arrived in Luoyang, Mr. Cai taught me how to read." , My predecessor Lu Gong also taught me to read the scriptures.

It can be said that I have read all the laws of the Five Classics. During the process of reading, I felt that the reason why the laws of the Five Classics are endlessly debated, and no one recognizes the other. The main reason is that the sentences are broken in different ways. The difference in approach is a big problem.

In a word, using different sentence punctuation methods will produce different understandings, and different understandings will cause a huge change in the meaning of the sage, which will cause uncompromising disputes between the laws of your families, so the laws of each family The reason for this is because of the problem of punctuation.

Sentence reading can't solve this problem very well, so I took another approach and decided to adopt a more intuitive way to fix the sentences of the scriptures, how to break them, how to break them, and fix them here, use this punctuation to fix them, and then make them public World. "

Guo Peng turned around and looked at Yuan Si.

Yuan Si didn't seem to have reacted yet.

So Guo Peng continued.

"Although the Five Classics family law has been established, it is only determined by force with the power in my hands, and there are still many people who refuse to accept it, and many people do not accept it.

There are still many people who are thinking of learning the style of Gu Liang and Zuo's school. Even if they do not set up an academic officer and the court does not agree, they will continue to pass it on. When an emperor who is willing to agree appears, they will support their theories.

Now it’s just a temporary hibernation. When I die, they still have a chance. If the crown prince doesn’t agree, then wait. No matter what, they can wait for an emperor who is willing to appoint an academic officer.

Anyway, they will wait forever and never give up. This is a big hidden danger. After finally unifying the Five Classics, if the emperor of the future generation makes a mistake and restores him, it will be troublesome. "

When Guo Peng mentioned this question, Yuan Si came to his senses.

According to his understanding, the emperor intends to completely kill the rest of the family law, so as not to give them any chance of re-establishment.

That's why it was decided to use punctuation marks to complete the sentences of the five classics and then make them public.

Let everyone know how to punctuate sentences, and let everyone learn this correct punctuation. The more people learn, the more stable the position of the existing Five Classics will be.

Thereby cutting off the inheritance path of those small circles and small factions that enclose themselves and let them fend for themselves.

It seems that it is quite good. Doing this seems to really cut off the ambitions of those opposition schools to restore their status, but...

How to conclude a sentence is originally kept secret by various schools of thought.

Teachers and students passed word of mouth in the classroom without making notes. Only those who entered the school and became disciples could learn, and then passed the re-examination of Xiaolian and the government to enter the government, hold official positions, and embark on official careers.

If according to the emperor's statement, the sentences are marked with punctuation, so that word of mouth can be seen by everyone, doesn't that mean that the foundation of a school is made public?

In this way, as long as you can get a book, you only need to know how to read and have basic learning ability.

You don't need to spend a lot of time learning sentence reading, and you don't need to get advice from famous teachers, you can learn correctly according to the punctuation, and you don't have to take detours.

In this way, the Yuan family could not establish a stable student-student relationship with the scholars through private education, and this relationship became very fragile and meaningless.

Furthermore, the method of sentence punctuation has been made public, and everyone can see it and learn it, just like tearing off the loincloth for people to watch at will.

Then what is the meaning of his Yuan's existence?

Wouldn't that make no sense at all?

Yuan Si suddenly thought of this key point.

He felt that was the most important thing.

If the emperor used punctuation to publicize Yuan's sentence punctuation methods to the world, and then fixed them, Yuan's status would be very embarrassing.

Chapter 1159 One thousand 160 nine second, Guo Peng chose Xun You

This question is critical.

It is related to the survival and existence value of the Yuan family in Runan.

What did the emperor want to tell him about this matter?

Yuan Si's head was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, this method...although it is indeed effective, but...but the family's family law, if...if it is made public, the Yuan family will...whether..."

Yuan Si stammered, unable to utter the last few words no matter what.

But Guo Peng understood his concerns.
